Packing your tablet
■ Remove all peripheral devices and cables. Remember to pack those you will
need while traveling, and do not forget to pack at least one tablet pen.
■ Attach the Hard Top or slip the Gateway Tablet PC into its portfolio to
protect the display.
■ Protect the pen by keeping it in the tablet’s pen holder during travel.
■ Pack the Gateway Tablet PC securely into a briefcase or hand-carried
luggage, and keep it separate from toiletries, liquids, and food. Do not pack
it in checked luggage.
■ Keep the tablet stable during travel. Secure it to prevent it from sliding
around in overhead bins and car trunks.
Traveling by air
■ Prepare for airport security by charging the battery in case Security asks
you to start the tablet.
■ Have it hand-inspected or sent through the X-ray scanner, but never carry
it through the metal detector.
■ Turn off the tablet for takeoff and landing.
■ Do not check the tablet as baggage.
Modem
■ Take a telephone cord to connect the modem to telephone jacks. If you
are traveling internationally, take telephone jack adapters or an acoustic
handset coupler.
■ Take a telephone line protector.
■ Take a telephone line tester to check for unsafe lines, especially if you are
traveling internationally.
■ Take remote access information with you so you can connect to your ISP
while outside of your usual calling area. A list of country dialing codes may
be especially useful if you are traveling internationally.
